Immigify, AfroHealth partner to drive jobs for Nigerian health professionals in US

A new partnership between Immigify, a leading immigration consultancy, and AfroHealth, a Google-backed digital health company, is offering about 250 Nigerian health and nursing assistants the chance to secure jobs in the United States.

Emma Olorunsheyi, co-founder and CEO of Immigify, explained that the U.S. healthcare system is experiencing a growing need for skilled professionals, making the initiative timely.

He said the collaboration aims to provide interested Nigerians with pathways to career advancement, financial stability, and the chance to obtain a U.S. Green Card.

“We’re streamlining the process for Nigerians who want to work in the U.S. healthcare sector,” Olorunsheyi said.
“This programme is designed for individuals with at least an O’level qualification and an interest in a healthcare career abroad.”

He added that successful candidates will undergo a six-week training program to prepare for the U.S. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) exams. Once participants pass the exam, Immigify will manage their EB-3 visa applications, a visa category for skilled workers.

“With a nearly 100 per cent approval rate, this visa allows candidates to live and work permanently in the U.S., with the entire process typically taking 12 to 24 months,” Olorunsheyi said.

Beyond job placement, he emphasized the broader benefits, including international work experience, higher earning potential, and long-term security for participants and their families. Newly qualified nursing assistants can expect to earn between $20 and $40 per hour in the U.S. healthcare system.

Olorunsheyi also expressed excitement about partnering with AfroHealth, noting that the programme offers a rare opportunity for professional and personal growth.

He said :” Participants will receive support throughout the process, from visa applications to transitioning into life and work in the U.S.

“With limited slots available, the programme offers a valuable chance for Nigerians to pursue a new career path and secure a better future.”
